The book is about rival gangs from different sides of the tracks. The two gangs, the greasers and the socials, were considered to be outsiders. The groups fail to gain any standing even when they save kids from a burning church. The newspaper headlines read "Juvenile Delinquents Turn Hero."
The Outsiders was #38 of the American Library Association's top 100 banned books of 1990. The book was challenged in South Milwaukee because of violence, language, drug and alcohol abuse content and "virtually all the characters were from broken homes."
